Notes

Studio recording (2013), clean riff section. Taylor York is credited for the main clean guitar parts. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean riff. Settings estimated based on typical Paramore studio rig and genre/era. No direct studio photo or interview for this exact session, but consistent with known Paramore clean tone approach.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated rhythm playing with clean single-coil articulation and precise muting, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
